A Feminine, Embodied Approach to Learning Sanskrit
The manifest sound of creation is the Mother of all things, having 50 śaktis that she wears as a garland of the Sanskrit syllables...this Mother is the source of all mantras, the origin of all sciences, and the soil from which all the principles, all sages, and all knowledge are born.
~ Śrī Lakṣmī Tantra 20:31,52
You can learn Sanskrit the hard way or the fun way.
The hard way was how I learned Sanskrit in graduate school—as a dead, classical language. Sanskrit was something to be obtained "out there," in books. The fun way is how it's been taught orally from teacher to student for thousands of years—as a chanting practice leading to awakening higher states of consciousness. Here Sanskrit is a way of uncovering your own natural intelligence "in here," within your nervous system.
After spending agonizing years with my head stuck in thick books of grammar & dictionaries, I discovered a much easier—and yet deeply transformative—method of learning Sanskrit. As my Vedic teacher explained, "I sit. You sit. I chant. You listen & repeat." It's how the Vedas (the teachings of enlightenement) have been passed down since the dawn of time. This is adhyāyānam—the living transmission that leads to the awakening of knowledge within your own nervous system.
Take your yoga & meditation practice to the next level.
Yoga studios are churning out thousands of new yoga teachers every year—yet few receive education in the authentic roots of yoga. You can be different by going directly to the source of yoga, the Vedas. And Sanskrit is your vehicle to get there. (Plus this course counts toward 10 non-contact Yoga Alliance hours...and is the first step toward becoming a certified Sanskrit for Yogis teacher.)
